Gerhard Hancke

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong. I obtained M.Eng and B.Eng degrees from the University of Pretoria (South Africa) in 2002 and 2003 respectively, and a PhD in Computer Science with the Security Group at the University of Cambridge's Computer Laboratory in 2008. Before joining CityU I worked for the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London as a researcher/engineer at the ISG Smart Card Centre (2007-2011) and as a Teaching Fellow (2011-2013).

Work with me

I am currently looking for PhD students and Research Assistants. Candidates should preferably have a background in Computer Science or Electronic/Electrical Engineering with strong practical/applied skills.

CityU is a highly ranked institution (5th by QS and 18th by Times Higher for Universities under 50 years old.) Learn more about our PhD program here and about potential funding here (Please note that the deadline is not far away).
